Enrico Fermi (1901 – 1954) was an
Italian-American physicist particularly
known for his work on the development
of the first nuclear reactor and for his
contributions to the development... More > of
quantum theory, nuclear and particle
physics, and statistical mechanics. He
was awarded the 1938 Nobel Prize in
Physics for his work on induced
radioactivity.
Fermi is widely regarded as one of the leading
scientists of the 20th century, highly
accomplished in both theory and experiment.
Along with J. Robert Oppenheimer, he is
frequently referred to as "the father of the
atomic bomb."
His lecture notes, especially those for quantum
mechanics, nuclear physics, and
thermodynamics, were transcribed into books
which are still in print, including
THERMODYNAMICS, which remains his most
important publication.
With his characteristic clarity, in this classic on
Thermodynamics, Fermi explains the First and
Second Laws of Thermodynamics, entropy,
thermodynamic potentials, and much more.< Less

Thermodynamics is the study that deals with heat and work done on objects and their exchanges. It describes the effect on any matter when the work done i.e. mechanical energy is transformed into heat... More > energy and vice versa.< Less

Ideas for this book were transferred by the Himalayan Teacher Djwhal Khul. Here we talk about issues of thermodynamics. And first of all we will explain what in our view is a physical concept of... More > temperature.
In physics the concept of “temperature refers to a substance. But in reality, the temperature - is a unique natural phenomenon. Temperature - is like temperament.
Esoteric information transmitted Himalayan Masters helps us to understand the essence of this process.

The present book is a compilation of the thermodynamic properties of steam at supercritical pressures. Four properties – specific volume, internal energy, enthalpy and entropy are tabulated as... More > functions of pressure and temperature. Properties were computed based on IAPWS Industrial Formulation 1997.
The introductory section of the book provides a previously unpublished equation for the pseudocritical temperature, based on the author's own research that helps to distinguish between liquid-like and vapor-like steam.< Less

The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of important principles and concepts in the field of thermodynamics, written in a fashion that makes this abstract and complex subject easy to... More > comprehend. Concepts and principles are presented in a way which also will allow many non-engineering professionals with some math background to follow the material and gain useful knowledge. Thermodynamic topics including enthalpy, entropy, latent and sensible heat, heats of fusion, and heat of sublimation are clearly presented. Also covered are phases of substances, the law of conservation of energy, SFEE, the first and second laws of thermodynamics, ideal gas law, and respective mathematical statements. The author provides an examination of specific thermodynamic processes, as well as heat and power cycles such Rankine, Carnot and the differences between them. Case studies illustrate various thermodynamics principles, and each chapter concludes with a list of questions or problems for self assessment.< Less
